- Ice cream maker
by M. Dickinson from Lake George, NY USA on 2009-01-06
Purchased this ice cream maker for Christmas. Thought it would be fun but it took a little over 40 min to make ice cream and then we had a heck of a job getting it out of the container. Frozen so hard and weird shape so couldn't get a tool in to remove ice cream. You also have to stop halfway through and scrape down sides. Ice cream tasted great but design is poor. We have done the same kind of thing with 2 coffee cans and works better. Kids became bored pretty quickly. Will be good for camping.
Not Enough Fun for the Frustration
by J. Flora from on 2008-12-31
I used mine once and returned it because the work of it outlasted the fun by at least 20 minutes. The ice cream was really hard to remove, too. Even though we followed the instructions, we had ice milk in the core and hard ice cream on the wall of the interior.
If we were camping and really wanted ice cream, we'd probably use it once or twice a year. It's a cute idea, but the work and frustration of it doesn't pay off.
OMG WHERE DO I START!
by Tina Tobin from Colorado on 2008-12-27
Ok I think who ever invented this was trying to do good. But they have major flaws in the development of this ball.
CONS: Sorry there are more cons then pros.
Does not make ice cream in 15 minutes as instructions say. Try 48 minutes for ice milk.
Hurts when you roll it back and forth. This has sharp plastic edges that souround ball and hurts your hands.
LEAKS. Yes this leaks. We tightened this up as much as we could and it leaked.
Regular ice cubes will not work. You need more of a crushed ice.
After 48 minutes you get board and well give up.
After your hands are red and sore you give up.
The to find out that you only get less then 2 cups of ice milk there was a waist of 48 minutes. $2.05 for half and half. $.30 cents for sugar. $.o5 cents for vanilla. $35.00 for the ball itself. pain. and because of the leaks IT IS NOT WORTH IT I could have went to Kings Soopers for $1.88 and picked up a half galon carton for less pain and money.
DO NOT BUY!!!!!
Ok pros. Its a pretty colored ball.
broken in five minutes
by Rose S. Ijaz from Washington, DC on 2008-12-26
This was a Christmas present for my daughter. It cracked during the first 5 minutes of use. What a waste of money, time, and a young girl's hopes.
Love the Mega Ice Cream Ball
by D. Bartell from Fort Worth, TX on 2008-12-26
I love this product. My daughter (12 years) received it for Christmas. She made ice cream Christmas Day and the next day with her friends. The ice cream is a little runny at first, but we just put it in the freezer for a bit.
It's easy to use and the ice cream is really good!
